- Summary:
- The general program of the unified development of the Tennessee River system is outlined in the Authority's report to Congress dated March 31, 1936. This program will provide the highest type of navigation improvement from Knoxville to the mouth of the river, a distance of about 650 miles, and will contribute to flood control on both the Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers.
- Norris Dam, the first to be constructed, plays an important part in this system because of its large storage capacity and comparatively large flow contributed by the Clinch and Powell Rivers to flood peaks on the Tennessee River.
